Outdoor Kitchens on the ground in Richland-Chambers Reservoir
Operated by Tarrant Regional Water District, with the same TRWD permitting framework as Cedar Creek but a different shoreline-management plan. Richland-Chambers has long, low-slope coves with submerged timber and sediment plumes — both dredging and dock placement require careful sonar work upfront. We barge-mobilize most jobs here.
Recent work near: Corsicana, Streetman, Wortham, Kerens.

Quick FAQ
Full FAQ →What's included in a typical outdoor kitchen build?
Standard scope includes the built-in cabinet structure, countertops, a grill, prep space, and lighting. We can layer in:
- Side burners and warming drawers
- Outdoor refrigerator and sink (with plumbing)
- Pizza oven or smoker integration
- Bar seating and overhead pergola
- Built-in cooler or kegerator slot
We design the package around how you actually entertain — a small footprint with one great grill beats a sprawling kitchen with appliances nobody uses.
How long does an outdoor kitchen take to build?
Standard built-in kitchen on existing patio: 1–2 weeks. Add masonry walls, custom concrete tops, or full plumbing/gas runs and you're at 2–4 weeks.
Most of that variance is countertop fabrication (concrete cures slowly, granite needs templating and shop time). We sequence the structure and appliance work around the countertop schedule so the project doesn't sit waiting.
What's the best countertop material for outdoors?
Three serious options for Texas outdoor use: sealed concrete, granite, and outdoor-rated porcelain tile.
We avoid most marbles and quartzes outdoors — they're more porous than they look, and direct sun causes color shift in resin-bonded engineered stones. If you've seen quartz countertops outside, they were probably indoor-rated and will start crazing within 2–3 summers.
